About the whirring noise?

I no longer hear it, I've learned to filter it out ;)

But the couple people I've asked about it (STM, my mate) reckon its the throwout bearing and that it's not really a problem. Not gonna bother my mechanic with it.

Thanks for that, reason I asked is that my box started making the same whirring noise when the clutch is pressed ans sounds like it's supercharged in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears. :cry:

erm, mine makes the noise only when the clutch isn't depressed. (i.e. foot off the clutch) as soon as you tap the clutch in a fraction the noise stops.

Supercharged sound eh? Did you replace your timing belt recently?

Yeah, that's what I meant. Typing on an iPhone blows.
